Filippo Abbiati

Filippo Abbiati (1640–1715) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Lombardy and Turin. Born in Milan, he was a pupil of the painter Antonio Busca. Alessandro Magnasco was one of his pupils.[1] Ticozzi claims he trained, along with Federigo Bianchi, with Carlo Francesco Nuvolone. Along with Bianchi, he painted the cupola of Sant' Alessandro Martire in Milan. Abbiati also painted a St. John preaching in the Wilderness for a church in Saronno.[2]
